Aquaman ‘crystal’ allows anyone to breathe underwater without oxygen tank

Danish scientists have created a crystal that can absorb huge amounts of oxygen and allow a person to respire underwater unaided by oxygen tanks or other bulky breathing apparatus.


Known as ‘Aquaman crystal’, a bucket of this chemical creation can absorb an entire roomful of oxygen.


Professor Christine McKenzie from the University of Southern Denmark has said that this breakthrough would prevent lung cancer suffers from having to drag heavy oxygen cylinders around all day.


In a statement she said: ‘Divers may one day be able to leave the oxygen tanks at home and instead get oxygen from this material as it “filters” and concentrates oxygen from surrounding air or water.’


At the moment, large-scale production of this crystal is difficult due to its highly complicated chemical formula but hopes are high regarding its potential as an alternative to oxygen tanks
